Wait, doesn't that just spray their sensitive information over more and more machines that may or may not be sufficiently wiped before it's reassigned to someone else? Or increase the chance they encounter someone running one of these exploits panning for digital gold in the other users RAM?
- jlgaddis 9y agoAnd what happens to that RAM when an instance is terminated. Is it zeroed or does the data linger until it is later overwritten by another process? Or maybe that's what you're referring to?
- TJSomething 9y agoI'd hope that Amazon would zero out that RAM first, since whoever uses the machine next could always dump /dev/mem.

- tinix 9y agoYou know an IP doesn't necessarily mean a single machine instance, right?
- mdeeks 9y agoIt is probably an ELB that fronts multiple VMs that they cycle through. Also, that is only their website. I'm sure they have more infrastructure than just the VMs that host their web app. It is quite easy to have a single unchanging IP address and constantly rotating instances behind it.
